I think what you’re missing is that academic research focuses on novelty, not basic facts. Ultimately not trusting novelty can save time. Basic facts can be found in reference material.

So it’s more like suppose you want to paint your house green, and you read that somebody says you can mix red and blue paint to make a really cool green paint. Instead of immediately going out and buying enough red and blue paint to cover your whole house, first buy a small amount of red and blue paint, mix them together, and see if you get that neat green paint.

It’s common sense, but the window dressings of academia can lead you to burn time and money on things that are totally silly because somebody important-sounding said they did it once.

Where people get burned is that there’s an enormous power imbalance—-junior scientists can end up stuck trying and failing to make green paint out of red and blue paint because nobody senior is going to take them seriously if they can’t make green paint. This presents a serious ethical challenge if making green paint is impossible.
To be honest I have no idea who Newsweek were or are

These things seem germane to the discussion, though.
So this is a good comment - however the term 'hysteria' may not be correct, I suggest that the reaction is ultimately hysterical to the point of overreaction.

I think frankly it's driven a small group of unimportant people, causing more serious forces to act out of fear or opportunity, which snowballs into overreaction.

A 'fear' moves over a group of people causing weird effects.

Maybe we need a term for this - but how do we have 'serious consequences' out of essentially 'inconsequential acts'?

It's leveraged consistently by those that want to use 'every little interaction' as 'proof' of their particular ideology.

It's just too much, it's wearing on my otherwise sympathetic view of people.
> To me the sensible thing to do would be to tax these people (Musk, Bezos, Gates etc) and have the government implement policies that used these funds for socialized healthcare, higher minimum wage, paid parental leave etc. - you know, what all other first-world countries already have.

They already do tax them, at higher rates than anyone else in society. And its long been observed that a 100% tax rate wouldn’t pay for the social programs you’re asking for, because the ultra-wealthy just don’t have that much wealth relative to current government revenue levels.

As for socialized healthcare, we have it, perhaps you’ve heard of the affordable healthcare act and medicare. As for minimum wage, the US is 16th in the world. I’m not sure how you propose to translate taxes into a higher minimu wage, maybe a direct subsidy for workers? In any case they would then spend it on the same consumption goods as other miminum wage earners and put profit in the pockets of corporations and bid up the prices until equilibrium canceled out the increased wage. Paid personal leave? You want to pay people to not work because of some imaginary zeroes? Or you want to reduce the marginal productivity of capital in order to reduce the productivity of labor as well?

>It would not be an amazing desktop when compared to a Mac

On a Mac:

* apps are shipped in self-contained bundles

* launchd inspired the design of systemd

* the base system is shipped as an immutable image in a APFS sealed volume, and there's a clear separation between the base system and the user's apps.

So Macs actually implement the vision outlined by this article. In the Linux land, Fedora Silverblue probably comes closest (although comparatively lacking in polish).

Everything is improving I guess but there is very little relative investment in razors. They look different but arguably function worse than the original style double edge.

Vacuum cleaners have had a bit of innovation but no one is really desperate for a better vacuum cleaner unlike software. Also many of these hardware items have basically reached close to their peak form. You can't really make a radically better bicycle because we have already reached almost the best design.

With a team and a few years you can usually obliterate the leading software product in most areas and with a large team you could completely revolutionize it since there is so much easy target improvements to be had.

Yeah, in that case it makes sense. I manage them using Capture One Pro, which only manages them inside their directory, so it's really unlikely that they'll get imported or moved out.

That said, I too have a few TB of online storage, but my problem is the reverse: I will sometimes capture a few GB of photos, import them for safety, the nightly backup will run and back them all up, and the next day I'll delete most of them as rejects. Those rejects, I don't really care to keep, so I wouldn't want blurry or otherwise useless photos taking up space for ever.
It depends on the state, some do annual emissions and/or safety inspections and require failed vehicles to get fixed. But a lot will just let you drive nearly anything.
I greatly enjoyed this article, not necessarily for what it says, but for what it doesn't. It has an ideological undercurrent that probably doesn't represent either the views of Banks, Musk or Bezos; rather, the author attempts to interpret the words of Banks to refute something that neither Musk nor Bezos actually think.

What I enjoy so much about the Culture series is Banks' account of the good things in human nature, while also acknowledging the chaotic and sometimes violent, contradictory parts of our motivations. I view the series as a rare, honest attempt at answering the question "if you could wish anything you wanted for humanity, what would you wish for?" Trying to frame such a wish in a way that keeps only what we want to keep, if there were no materialistic limits. I am not sure that Banks would agree with me, but I've interpreted his socialist angle as merely what seemed the best plausible path towards that, from his point of view. Rather than with communism as an end to itself.

There's so much philosophy to unpack in this question, and it's fascinating to consider it through the lens of what might be possible in contemporary and near-future society. Today's richest people, while having tremendous power, obviously don't all wish to enslave humanity, the way one could erroneously conclude by going too deeply into far-left ideology.

Neither do they necessarily try to move directly in the direction of "progress", if we define progress to mean the fastest possible path towards the nebulous, ideal future of humanity as described above. But certainly some of the efforts of humanity's brightest are pulling us in this direction, and it seems implausible that any single contemporary ideology has the answer. It wouldn't surprise me if some billionaires would wish to move society in that direction. The apparent contradiction in that seems superficial to me.

I'm sure that many ideologies get part of the question right, but they all leave so much room for the parts of human nature that we would largely exclude, if given the choice. As do the power structures in contemporary society. They are limited by both the practical limits of contemporary economics and the partially selfish human motivations of their members.
> Bodily and personal autonomy was also deeply important to Banks, and to his creations: people in the Culture are free to structure both their lives and their bodies as they see fit.

> Which bit of not having private property, and the absence of money in the Culture novels, have these people missed?”

I think one thing about discussions that involve private property is that it is often viewed as just material possesions of an external nature, but to me as a constitutionalist, private property is a concept beyond that, which also applies to the self, whether that is body, mind or otherwise, just as much to external things. I often find my more conservative friends don't articulate this, but it is a source of complications of communication with socialists, etc, who ask the same question you do: whats the big deal about private property? Just a little perspective on the topic, if I may.
Exactly. I don't know if Ikea has an ethical way of producing its goods, anyhow if they do something useful, it doesn't hurt.

I won't say Ikea is a benefactor company because they preserved that land, but it certainly won't bother me!
There's some work happening on https://bus1.org/

However yes, dbus exists. It could be improved a lot but it does its job. There are some valid issues, but I also get the impression that a large number of people criticising it never actually tried to use it or understand what it does.
As opposed to the many Python gurus writing short scripts? :-)
I think it is more the obvious ubiquitous hypocrism. Everybody is anti racist and anti sexist, but blames the white man. Looting and burning buildings is ok, as long as the ideology behind it fits the narrative. Everybody is anti fascist, but if you have a different opinion you will get fucked up. Who in his right mind wants to argue with this bullshit?
In the sense of lowering per-row-overhead, supposed to be faster on commit and slower on rollback(usual workloads).
I agree, that's exactly my point — online communities might be (for sure often are) an echo chamber, but that depends on what content you subscribe to. Specifically on how opinionated-ness-y and on-topic that content is.
I wish IKEA was public so I could buy some shares. Not because of this news necessarily, I do not see much value with this move but in general I can see that their business works amazingly here in Europe.
> It's a hypothetical suggesting something about Musk and Bezos personalities and/or intent, not about their actual ability to make things better.

I was responding to the below. There’ a perspective that the magnitude of their wealth represents their current level of contribution to helping these people, and reappropriating that wealth would decrease their contribution by misallocating their property.

>> The problem is starting out on that path towards equal distribution is going to mean they lose a lot of money.

What is the value of the current pace of change though? We are using billions of developer hours every year to keep up with all the changes, where is it going, why do we need to spend so much time changing things? Changing things doesn't just force people to rewrite, even worse it forces people to relearn instead of achieving mastery.

How many percent of developers understand how everything in their stack works to such a degree that they'd be surprised if there are any problems when they test things? Basically nobody, yet it isn't really an unachievable goal. Why can't a web developer reach that point after 5 years of full time? Simple, it is all the damn changes to everything that happens constantly. It is so bad that most seems to think it is impossible to master anything in software engineering, yet if you just pin down the versions of all your dependencies and work like that for a few years everything will be crystal clear, that is how the human brain works.
I've seen an increasing amount of Use of Weapons bashing over the last few years; personal counterpoint is that it's not just my favourite of the Culture, but favourite novel full stop.

It's possible to implement very simple condition variables. The tricky part is preventing correct but inefficient behaviours like stampeding herds.
You're missing my point. If we're "accusing" Ikea of being a Dutch company, it's because the laws of that country allow the creation of tax havens.

If the Netherlands would rewrite those laws, the Kamprads wouldn't be able to do what they're doing.
It seems to be strategic.

A few helpful excerpts from different parts of the article (the rest of each paragraph is also useful):

> Users may be upset that the new processor range only features Vega 8 graphics, the same as last year’s design, however part of the silicon re-use comes in here enabling AMD to come to market in a timely manner.

> As mentioned on the previous page, one of the criticisms leveled at this new generation of processors is that we again get Vega 8 integrated graphics, rather than something RDNA based. The main reason for this is AMD’s re-use of design in order to enable a faster time-to-market with Zen 3. The previous generation Renoir design with Zen 2 and Vega 8 was built in conjunction with Cezanne to the point that the first samples of Cezanne were back from the fab only two months after Renoir was launched.

> With AMD’s recent supply issues as well, we’re of the opinion that AMD has been stockpiling these Ryzen 5000 Mobile processors in order to enable a strong Q1 and Q2 launch of the platform with stock for all OEMs.
He does not give an exhaustive list, rather the head of a couple of lists, and a couple of lists matching on one attribute or another. The animal on your cover looks like a Portuguese man of war, which would not match the "ama" search on animal, and of course your title does not include Perl.
Few things.

1. M1 in Mac Mini is estimated to be 20W to 25W.

2. M1 is 4 Performance Core + 4 Efficient Core. Compared to 8 Performance Core in Ryzen

3. Ryzen is 8 Core 16 Thread. M1 is 8 Thread.

4. Worth mentioning again, M1 is on 5nm, Ryzen is on 7nm.

It could still result in a mob piling on them, which is exactly the behaviour they're arguing against...
I feel like we're getting to this one way or another. Either via local govts like the U.S. rolling this out, or through crypto-currency, if they solve adoption, ease of use, inflation, identity, and sybil attacks-BIG IF.

It'd be nice if you could for instance use notaries to tie your SSN to a coin wallet, then have a way to regain lost keys/passwords, and if they had some fraud protection (ability to rollback transactions without fees), or insurance at the least.

The government I think has too many special interests, but syndicalists/unionists working in tandem across country-lines could create a global currency without govt control.

I've thought a lot about this, researching different technologies on bitcoin. I'm no expert in crypto by far, but what I envision would be hard - with current chains being built as far as I can tell.

Maybe in 5-10 years though.

> On Earth one of the things that a large proportion of the locals is most proud of is this wonderful economic system which, with a sureness and certainty so comprehensive one could almost imagine the process bears some relation to their limited and limiting notions of either thermodynamics or God, all food, comfort, energy, shelter, space, fuel and sustenance gravitates naturally and easily away from those who need it most and towards those who need it least. Indeed, those on the receiving end of such largesse are often harmed unto death by its arrival, though the effects may take years and generations to manifest themselves.

Did you watch the ending of Discovery?
Beliefs are not solely there to explain the “unexplainable”, you forgot the human part of it.

I agree that explaining what we don’t know with God is, well.. not explaining it.
But if the said believer is not blinded by the charlatany branch of his/her religion (in case of Christianity there are many such, and many are absolutely fine with sciences), then I don’t see no evil.
For some people it is calming to know that their loved ones “can’t” inexplicably die in every moment in an accident, that perhaps someone is watching over them - and many other, fundamental human innate cravings that want a God. (Which of course begs the question of isn’t God just a projection)

I think this article misses a valuable point: because they lend more than they keep in reserve, banks create money or credit, and thus expand the available money supply.

Removing banks, and giving all this power to the central government, amounts (in my view, at least) to a form of central planning.

There's a good talk about this, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzE038REw2k

The author of this article seems to espouse the "financial intermediation" view of banking. But, as Werner notes, this theory has been rejected (on empirical evidence; although, I haven't read the paper he cites in his talk).
It seems to me that the only actual solution is just to make tracking people illegal.
You're being needlessly patronising, but I'll answer in good faith in case you are actually interested.

Ceteris paribus, reducing your hiring pool is a negative.

Can qualitative factors counteract that? Sure, it's possible. But there is no evidence for it here, only assertion. And the quantitative problem is very large, so those factors would need to be very powerful.

Aside from that, it's naive to believe that the qualitative factors will only work in the positive direction. Whatever is gained from excluding the wrong-thinkers could easily be dwarfed by legal or reputational problems, blowback from boycotts or other "cancellation", inability to address the whole market due to a lack of diverse viewpoints, etc.
I think you may be referring to Chung, Mohidin, O'Leary (2002) <https://doi.org/10.1016/S0042-6989(02)00258-4>. I know of at least one other study confirming this result (https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1444-0938.2006.00055.x). This was controversial since it seems to be contrary to results of similar studies on animals.

However, in both of those studies, participants wore their under-corrective glasses continually, regardless of whether they were doing near-work or just walking / looking at a distance. This is a crucial error, as pointed out by at least Hung and Ciuffreda: <https://www.oepf.org/sites/default/files/journals/jbo-volume...>. It makes intuitive sense to me that under-corrective or anti-corrective glasses should only be worn for a limited amount of time each time and only when doing near-work, in order to induce temporary pressure that the (feedback systems of the) eye can then attempt to correct.

Also see this 2009 review by Barrett regarding the more general practice of behavioral vision therapy: <https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-1313.2008.00607.x>. Behavioural vision therapy is a wider term, referring not only to the effort to slow myopia, but also to correct other vision problems through changes in behaviour.
We'll see how that goes, but if they pursue some kind of vertical integration where they can make their own wood in a sustainable way... that'd be pretty sweet imho.

OTOH, it was recently announced that in order to promote sustainability, IKEA is going to sell spare parts too.

That's pretty good imho.

And keep in mind that we're talking about wood, something that's fairly recyclable, all things considered: imagine if apple started doing the same with iphone and macbook pro parts (that is selling spares directly to consumers)
It's not really a redhat fanboy. All the elements are coming to pretty much any not-minimalistic distribution. Alpine describes itself as "Linux distribution designed for power users who appreciate security, simplicity and resource efficiency."

There's a significant number of non-power-users who appreciate more advanced things working out of the box, even if it means more resources when not using all the advenced things.
The Unspoken Challenges of SecDevOps
In the fast-paced world of cloud-native, code changes frequently, and the attack surface and the risk profiles change just as quickly - giving rise to the SecDevOps.

As companies embrace SecDevOps, new challenges arise as different teams need to learn new concepts and technologies that aren’t normally associated with their day-to-day responsibilities. Now the DevOps teams need to learn how to secure their software and infrastructure and security team needs to adapt to a rapid delivery environment.

Aside from the new skills that need to be learned, a common thread between the 3 teams must be established. With varying goals and different perspectives to boot, coming to that common understanding is where most run into their first set of unspoken challenges nobody openly talks about.

Join us in the upcoming fire chat with Scott Surovich, HSBC's Global Container Engineering Lead, as we have an honest discussion about navigating the cultural and technical challenges of the journey to SecDevOps.

You will get to hear and learn about:
The technical and cultural challenges of shifting security left and how to overcome them.
Build a common thread between Devs, Ops, and Security teams.
